What a delightful, huge place. Its just off the water in Bay City, on a quiet street with other cute shops in walking distance.There are so many things, from dainty rings, to 70s kitsch, to architectural reclamation, Wedgwood, antique brooches... Honestly... They have everything. And the staff were gloriously helpful and kind.
Dont get me wrong I love the selection of antiques they have, but the service is kind of sub par. Not very friendly, also didnt want to to their job. Not everything is for sale, witch I can understand but some of the most simple objects you would assume arent for sale and you wont know until you walk a ross the large store. 🤷🏽♀️
Omg if your into antiques like me this is hands down thee best place in michigan to go this has to be one of the best in michigan Ive been too!! Not only Id this place amazing its stacked 3 floors high of incredible stuff and reasonable prices as well not to mention a bunch of antiques and amazing collectables for anyone omg I was in heaven and the wonderful people up front are amazing as well.

Walking in for the first time is always a time traveling experience. You are sure to find a treasure that you will adore forever. They take care of every item. Every item is fairly priced and usually has a very interesting story. I always learn something new and/or see something new with every visit. Its a calm and nostalgic atmosphere. Very worth the visit. Make time to explore because their is so much to see and experience. Every gift I purchased for someone was a success. Its hard to leave empty handed.
Plan a day and have a nice lunch in the middle. I always find something due to the shear volume of goods to be had. Like many other antique malls they have really let the junk invade over the years. Good source for hard to find things such as antique dresser and door hardware. Just about anything can be found here. Bay City has done a lot with their downtown. Worth seeing.
We drove all the way from Lansing. Our experience was very disheartening! A lot of the booths were so over packed you could not even look at their items. Most of the aisles were even more crowded than the booths, two people could not pass on any of the aisles. The prices over all were pretty high. Most were above retail. Very few booths had Sales that were so confusing! 10% off purple tags with a slash on it with purchase of $20 or more. Instead of having their sale items all on one shelf or area, you had to hunt and hunt (In messy booths) for one or two sale items. More than several booths were very dark and hard to see their items. It was VERY disappointing and certainly not worth our drive!
An entire block of antiques. An amazing place to go but you almost need to dedicate a day to see it all. That said, floor upstairs creaked to where I thought I might fall through. Some stalls almost empty. Others poorly organized or over packed. Completely worth a trip at least once.
My wife and I were looking for specific items (blue carnival glass). One of the security people glued himself to us, I actually had to ask him to move several times so we could keep looking. He followed us or stood next to us the whole time we were in the store. We wont be return customers.
